you have to see it to believe it, you have to believe it to see it

i've never seen as much sex on the playa as in 1999. i had wandered over to biancas in the wee hours of the morning. her place was over by 2:00 or so that year. i was tripping hard on some fungus (not a typical thing for me to do) so i sat down on a love seat and tripped on the lights and music whil...

oh my stars! i brought my daughter to burning man for her 18th birthday in 2000. the two of us were walking down a street one evening just talking and seeing the sites of neighboring camps. i had dyed my body blue that year, and was only wearing shorts and sandals. some older drunk dude SCREAMS from...

playa foot. i-yi-yi. had that my first year, never since. i take along a small tub to soak my feet in ... sometimes daily, depending on my mood...i just use baby oil and water. i didnt do that this year because i recently became aware of the grey water/playa issues, but anyway, keep bag balm on your...

i confess that i'm seriously considering quitting my job, selling my house, and moving to mount shasta and work in a bookstore.

i change my name every year. once i was gael, sweet pea, rowan, cant remember what else. i guess last year i was 'queenie' altho i dont remember that. but someone i'd camped near last year saw me this year and called me queenie as tho it were my name. it coulda been. he remembered everyone elses nam...

we've not had to use a burning man porta-pottie for a few years (thankfully). get yourself a camping porta-pottie at sears for $100 and an old small tent, and set up your own bathroom at your camp. every couple days you have to disassemble it and tote it to the 'real' potties and dump in the content...

They can beg all they want, but they can't have my avatar.

what the heck IS your avatar? i've pondered for days over that.

the neck of a balloon?

yeah, i was aware of the retrograde and of the effect of mars but i ignored it. i shoulda stayed home this year rather than agree to camp with a person i already despise and think i could deal with it appropriately. altho this was my 5th burn i was foolish enough to believe that 'nothing' could ruin...

i think this applies...found on astronomyzone.com...mercury went retrograde on aug28, wont get back to normal till sept 20....gael At several points throughout the year most of us will be bombarded with the maddening effects of Mercury in retrograde. Mercury is a planet which governs all transportat...

i hope they're not banned. my scooter was the only way i was able to see the city this year. last year i attended bm with a full leg cast and a wheelchair. i saw NOTHING. one man loaned me his golf cart for 4 hours one night and that was SO Cool. now and again i could coerce people to shove my ass a...

i didnt fly a flag but i dont see a problem with it. i mean, it didnt bother me. there were plenty of flags from canada and britian there too.....it's ok to fly your colors.

lol. it all sounds very monty python to me

gael

lol. just noticing that you say you cleaned up after me. considering i'm the only one who did dishes and cooked dinners for everyone every night, i find that amusing

yeah you just go on with your grandiose thoughts. i see you didnt bother to post any of the things i've done for YOU for the past 3 1/2 years. i hope i've made it loud and clear that you are not welcome in my home or on my property ever again. this is the 2nd burn you've tried to ruin for me, btw. i...

the only 'bad times' i experienced were due to the asshole i was unfortunate enough to be camping with. i had the sense to stay away for the most part, and chilled elsewhere. didnt see any fights, except the ones in my head, where i bashed in his skull with a bat or shoved him down to the ground. gu...

god. i didnt know about this until now. so very sad.

the drive home is a scary one, i agree. i do hope people think twice before attempting that road without sleep.

sad

great idea chloe.

we always bring along a foot soak tub, baby oil, special feet lotions, bag balm and nice puffy clean socks to pamper our feetsies while there.

did you have a vinegar foot bath at the dreamcatcher camp?

gael

thank you to monkey boy and affinity and gordon and everyone else from dreamcatcher camp for letting me chill there throughout the last few days, and most especially for letting me hang during the burn...what a fantastic view!

anyway, a VERY nice bunch of people, great camp.

gael

well, i have to agree...kinda...as there DID seem to be a lot of scooters and motorcycles out there this year. but in my own defense, i was on a scooter myself because i have a serious leg injury that is still healing. last years burn i saw from a wheelchair with a full leg cast. a bummer, i assure ...

hey chloe_dancer! and lucky! good to see you made it home safely. i know what you mean about missing your baby. my own daughter is grown and lives in seattle, but i have wonderful saint bernard puppys named duncan and byron whom i missed SO much and couldnt wait to see. i'm happy you like the bracel...

gael

hi! i was (am) so honored to have been in your wedding on friday at the feet of the man. thats something i will always remember and it made my burning man experience even better than usual. i'm sorry i flaked on finding you thursday night. it had been a tough day at our camp, and i was pretty wiped ...

my sister and my best friend couldnt make it to the playa this year and sat around the computer for 5 hours waiting (they were trying to catch a glimpse of me, lol) but they kept getting kicked off and finally gave up trying to connect at 9:20, only 20 minutes before the burn! is it available to vie...
